APPEALED FROM THE CHAIR.


How Parliamentary Decentralization Was
nuelled in the Limekiln Club.
For some weeks past Elder Shinbone Whit
beck has exhibited signs of insubordination.
This is said to be owing to the fact that he
drew S13 in lottery and wants TO establish
a club Of his own-a society with less form
ality and more lemonade. 1t was evident
from his actions when the meeting opened
that be bad an IRON hot, and the triangle had
scarcely sent forth its stricken voice when he
was on his feet and addressing the president.
"Brudder Whitbeck, you ar out of order"
replied the chair.

II was plain to all members that Shinbone
was out of order, and that he was seeking to
force some issue. Brother Gardner looked at
him in a dazed sort of way for minute, and
then asked:

Col. UtIey and Senator Maxon.

A gentleman who was In the state SEN
ate in 1861 recalls the following incident.
Col. UtleY, of Racine and G. w. Maxon
of Washington county, who have recent
Iy died within few weeks of each other
were both members of the state senate
in 1861. Senator Maxon represented a
German constituency and whenever any
proposition for printing documents was
under consideration was sure to be on
hand with an amendment that certain
number of such documents be printed in
the German language. When the dog
law was before the senate, Senator Max
on took deep interest in its passage, as
many of his constituents were engaged in
raising sheep. While he was explaining
the need of such a law, and emphasizing
the fact that his constituents were direct
interested in it, Col. Utley gravely arose
and stated ia his peculiar and irresistible
way that he desired to offer
an amendment to the. act and
sent to the clerks desk to be read:
read:
add to section - as follows: Proyid-
ed that all dogs in Washington county be
required to bark in the German language.
The amendment ELECTED general laugh
at Maxon's expense in which the latter
heartily joined.

FAIRCHILD SUCCEEDS MANNING.
The President Appoints General Fairchild TIL
New Secretary.


The President Appoints General Fairchild the
New Secretary.
A Washington dispatch of the 1st inst
says: The president to-day signed the
commissions of Charles s. Fairchild as
secretary eff the treasury and Isaac h
Maynard as assistant secretary of the
treasury.
Mr.. Fairchiid at once entered upon the
discharge of his new duties. He was
sworn in at ] / O'Clock by notary public
employed in the secretary's office. and
took possession of the office and desk for
merly occupied by ex-Secretary Manning
The officers and many of the clerks of the
department waited upon him early and
extended their congratulations. The
crowd became SO great that he was com.
PEELED to abandon for time all idea of
attending to tho current work claiming
his attention. He caused a temporary
half by announcing that he would receive
his official friends Informally In the af-
ternoon after he had disposed of his
mail. He received a profusion of flowers
and congratulatory letter and kilograms
from all parts of the country. The ma
jOr1ty of the kilograms were from bank
ers and business men.
Judge Maynard will not qualify as AS
sistant Secretary before Monday, as he
desires to dispose of some business now
pending in the second Comptroller's office
In accepting his new office he will suffer
a loss of $500 year in his salary. He
makes the change at the pers onal solicita-
ton of the President and Secretary Fair
child, With the latter of whom he enjoys
the closest personal relations.

now in the foot. and now in the face. In
vain did we hIddle up closer and closer:
there was no warmth in our miserable,
starved carcaSSes. Sometimes one of us
would drop into an uneasy slumber for
few minutes, but we could not sleep long,
and perhaps it was fortunate, for L doubt ii
we should ever have woke again. 1 believe it
was only by force of will that we kept our
selves alive at al.
Not very long before dawn | heard the
Hottentot Ventvogel, whose teeth had been
chattering all night like castanets, give
deep sigh, and then his teeth stopped chat
tering. I did not think anything of it at the
time, concluding that he had gone to sleep.
His back was resting against mine, and it
seemed to grow colder and colder, till at last
it was like Ice
AT length the air began to grow gray with
light, then swift, golden arrows came flash
ing across the snow, and at last the glorious
sun peeped up above the lava wall and
looked in upon our half-frozen forms and up
on Nentvogel, sitting there amongst us stone
dead. No wonder his back had felt cold,
poor fellow. He had died when heard him
sigh, and was now almost frozen stiff.
Shocked beyond measure we dragged our
selves from the corpse strange the horror we
all have of the companionship of dead
body, and left it still sitting there, with lis
arms clasped round its knees.
BY this time the sunlight was pouring its
cold rays for here they are cold straight in
at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly / heard
an exclamation of fear from some one, and
turned my head down the cave.
And this was what I saw. Sitting at the
end of it, for it was not more than twenty
feet long, was another FORM of which the
head rested on the chest and the long arms
hung down. l stared at it, and saw that it
was dead man, and what was more a white
man.
The others saw it too, and the sight proved
too much for our shattered nerves. One and
all we scrambled out of the cave as fast as
our half-frOzen limbs would allow.

The ORIGIN of Cinderella.

There is no fairy tale that is better
known or more loved by young readers
than the story of the poor little cinder
wench, who was so Ill treated by her
cruel sisters, had such delightful god
mother, with magic band, and was SO
lucky as to lose her pretty glass slippers
only to gain a prince, and become prin-
cess thereby.
Looking over an old book, we came
upon an anecdote that it said to have
been the origin of this favorite tale.
Cinderella's real name, it seems, was
Rhodope, and she was beautiful Egyp-
tian maiden. who lived go years before
the birth of Christ, and during the reigh
of Psammetticus, one of the twelve kings
of Egypt. One day Rhodope ventured
to GO In bathing In a clear stream near
fer home and meanwhile left her shoes,
which must have been unusually snail !,
lying on the bank. An eagle, passing
above, CHANGED to catch sight Of them lit
tie sandals, bounced down and carried
off one in his beak.
The bird then unwittingly played the
part of fairy god-mother, for, flying di-
rectly over Memphis, where King Psam
meticus was dispensing justice, it let the
shoe fall right into the kings lap. It's
size, beauty. and daintiness Immediately
attracted the royal eye, and the king, de-
termined upon knowing the wearer Of
so cunning a shoe, sent throughout all
his kingdom in search of the foot that
would fit it. As in the story Of Gin
derelIa, the messengers finally discovered
Rhodope, fitted OF the shoe, and carried
her in triumph to Memphis where she be-
came the queen of King Psammeticus,
and the foundation of the fairy tale that
was to delight boys and girls twenty-four
hundred wears later

The year 1887 will probably go down to
history as the great boom year. There
are more booms now going on through
out the country than were ever heard of
before, or are likely to be again.

seriously afflicted by drouth. The cattle
